Interim MPD Director Mike Rallings talks protests and keeping the peace

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — It’s been a long week in Memphis.

We’ve seen several protests Sunday.

More are expected in the coming days.

Interim Memphis Police Director Mike Rallings joined us Thursday morning to discuss what has happened and how we may move forward.

He’s been praised and criticized for how he’s handled the protests.

Some have even demanded he be given the job permanently, even though a national search is underway.

About rumors of a National Day of Rage Rallings said, “You don’t have to participate in that foolishness.”
